Cheers Scott - agree it’s better looking than the D5. I love the way D3’s and 4’s have that “unapologetic” business-like look about them.

But man, I’d kill for a new inline-6 Defender - if they weren’t so bloody expensive!!

Very nice, thanks for the info, interested to see how these go...

I would like to replace my noisy KO2’s which are 265/60/18... They have only done 6000kms and I can’t stand the noise at 60-80km/h, however been extremely happy with the off-road capability... I’m also concerned about their performance on the black stuff in wet conditions..

Shame that Falken don’t make the AT3W 265/60/18 or 265/65/18 sizes in LT construction (according to their website)

The 265/60-18 is an XL and is damn strong compared to other offerings.

I’ve cut one in half and taken a look. You’d be hard pressed to get stronger - backed up by the 114 load rating.

I think I have made up my mind on 275/65/18 on my Triton. In the Wildpeaks. That's one size up and one profile up for close to 32 inch OD. Good size I think. Cheers

I been thinking the same,but the BFG is a really strong tyre in that size with a much higher load rating.

Mine drone that much at some speeds the dash will buzz on some road surfaces.And yes they have been rotated every 10K,and i have tried different pressures.

I know some think a 114 Load rated tyre is just as strong,but i doubt it.

The BFG is as good as any AT in the mud,but in that black clay we have on the property,it will clog any tyre,and once clogged,its all over.
I have seen numerous other vehicles with all sorts of AT tyres not going anywhere.Some of the contractors that do the wheat have Toyo and BFG Muddies on their Cruisers,they are better,but will still clog completely at times.

I was leaning toward the Perrelli ATplus but $1200 for 4 new 265/60/18s in these is persuasive.

I have Cooper AT3s and the noise is not loud but it’s there.

The Falken in 275/65/18 is 123 load rating. Very Nice. The 285/60 is 118.

Do either of these 2 fit a D4 legally and with no rubbing? If so all good load wise.

Cheers

Be interesting to see what it does to the Triton. A few young fellas here have gone a bit bigger. Let me know what your fuel burn changes to, and how you find it off the line.
